Integrates well with other security solutions
Pros and Cons
  • "It can integrate very well with DAST solutions. So both of them are combined into an integrated solution for customers running application security."
  • "I expect application security vendors to cover all aspects of application security, including SAST, DAST, and even mobile application security testing. And it would be much better if they provided an on-premises and cloud option for all these main application security features."

What is our primary use case?

Checkmarx is used only for static application security testing (SAST), and it can integrate very well with DAST solutions. So both of them are combined into an integrated solution for customers running application security.

What needs improvement?

I expect application security vendors to cover all aspects of application security, including SAST, DAST, and even mobile application security testing. And it would be much better if they provided an on-premises and cloud option for all these main application security features. So most of my customers would love to have consolidated vendors who cover all application security to lower operational overhead.

For how long have I used the solution?

I'm a solution architect, not an end-user. I'm selling Checkmarx. This is the first year I've done business with Checkmarx. In the past five years, I worked a lot with Fortify and Micro Focus. I currently have two customers running Checkmarx, and one more is evaluating the product.

How was the initial setup?

Setting up Checkmarx should be relatively straightforward. It takes a little more time for the DevOps team to enable everything, but overall deployment should take less than a week, including preparation and implementation. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Most of my customers opted for a perpetual license. They prefer to pay the highest amount upfront for the perpetual license and then pay for additional support annually.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Checkmarx eight out of 10. Until I get more extensive feedback from clients, I would rate it an eight.

What is most valuable?

It is not expensive, but sometimes, their pricing model or licensing model is not very clear. There are similar variables, such as projects or developers, and sometimes, it is a little bit confusing.

I would absolutely recommend this solution. I would rate Checkmarx a nine out of 10.

  • "The integration could improve by including, for example, DevSecOps."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution for scanning the code for security.

What is most valuable?

One of the most valuable features is it is flexible.

The integration could improve by including, for example, DevSecOps.

Good features, good support, fair price, and good ability to deliver what customers require
Pros and Cons
  • "The features and technologies are very good. The flexibility and the roadmap have also been very good. They're at the forefront of delivering the additional capabilities that are required with cloud delivery, etc. Their ability to deliver what customers require and when they require is very important."
  • "There is nothing particular that I don't like in this solution. It can have more integrations, but the integrations that we would like are in the roadmap anyway, and they just need to deliver the roadmap. What I like about the roadmap is that it is going where it needs to go. If I were to look at the roadmap, there is nothing that is jumping out there that says to me, "Yeah. I'd like something else on the roadmap." What they're looking to deliver is what I would expect and forecast them to deliver."

What is our primary use case?

We're selling their licenses and their technologies. We have on-premises and cloud deployments. Its deployment depends on the customer requirements. 

It is used for a range of requirements for DevSecOps. It has been deployed to ensure that the development cycle delivers clean and secure code that is vulnerability-free. It is there as a part of the whole compliance and security process.

What is most valuable?

The features and technologies are very good. The flexibility and the roadmap have also been very good. They're at the forefront of delivering the additional capabilities that are required with cloud delivery, etc. Their ability to deliver what customers require and when they require is very important. 

What needs improvement?

There is nothing particular that I don't like in this solution. It can have more integrations, but the integrations that we would like are in the roadmap anyway, and they just need to deliver the roadmap. What I like about the roadmap is that it is going where it needs to go. If I were to look at the roadmap, there is nothing that is jumping out there that says to me, "Yeah. I'd like something else on the roadmap." What they're looking to deliver is what I would expect and forecast them to deliver.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for two years.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Our customers are completely comfortable with the scalability of the technologies. They can deploy them initially in a relatively straightforward manner and then grow them into their organization quite successfully. We primarily have large customers.

How are customer service and technical support?

Our team works with them. Their sales engineering team as well as their pre-sales capabilities are very good. They're clear. They work, and they're available, which is good. It is somewhat unusual in this business.

How was the initial setup?

It depends on different technologies, but it is reasonably quite straightforward.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Its price is fair. It is in or around the right spot. Ultimately, if the price is wrong, customers won't commit, but they do tend to commit. It is neither too cheap nor too expensive.

What other advice do I have?

They're a very good company to work with, and that's a very important aspect of any technology these days. You could find very nice technologies, but if the company is not good to work with, it could be of no use. You'll not be able to get it deployed, and you'll not get assistance. You will get bad value for good technology. Checkmarx is a nice, pleasant, and relatively easy company to work with. You will get a good return, and you will get a good partnership and relationship working with them.

I would rate Checkmarx an eight out of ten.

Gives less number of false positives and supports most of the languages, but need to support remaining languages and create a model to identify zero-day attacks
Pros and Cons
  • "The feature that I have found most valuable is that its number of false positives is less than the other security application platforms. Its ease of use is another good feature. It also supports most of the languages."
  • "They can support the remaining languages that are currently not supported. They can also create a different model that can identify zero-day attacks. They can work on different patterns to identify and detect zero-day vulnerability attacks."

What is our primary use case?

We are using multiple solutions for application security, and Checkmarx is one of them. We are a client-centric organization, and we are also providing support to clients for application security. Sometimes, we have our own production, and then we scan the customer information and provide application security. For a few clients, it is deployed on the cloud, and for a few customers, it is on-premises.

What is most valuable?

The feature that I have found most valuable is that its number of false positives is less than the other security application platforms. Its ease of use is another good feature. It also supports most of the languages.

What needs improvement?

They can support the remaining languages that are currently not supported. They can also
create a different model that can identify zero-day attacks. They can work on different patterns to identify and detect zero-day vulnerability attacks.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is stable, and it works.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is scalable. Our clients are small, medium, and big enterprises. It is for all the categories.

How are customer service and technical support?

Their support is good. I had discussions with them multiple times. We are getting proper support.

How was the initial setup?

It is straightforward. It is not a big challenge. It doesn't take long.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I would rate Checkmarx a seven out of ten.
